"As a matter of fact, this “Excalibur” is a brilliantly produced concept album, full of wonderful (yet poppy) compositions, sung by Michael Ernst and Chris Thompson, who is one of the best vocalists of all times. So, if you like rock (?) operas and don’t want them to be heavy all of the time, this one could fill the gap in a perfect way. Believe me, it’s one of those few albums I have listened to again and again and again..."

"It starts off with a nice intro "The King of Swords" spoken by Duncan Larkin and moves into the superb "Excalibur" with its wonderful and very catchy vocals and musical melodies. You can tell that this project is going to heavily based around the vocal parts from the offset."

"Michael Ernsts’ Excalibur is a fine example of why reviewers should always take time to listen to an entire album and not skip through the first couple of tracks and then decide whether an album is hot or not. The first couple of tracks on this album sound very promising. The narrator on the opening track “The King Of Swords”, Duncan Larkin for example is among the best I’ve ever heard. The album starts out with nice and expressive rhythms."
